Initial analysis

The two-unit mixed-use building at 149-151 Gough Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Emily Jane Rosenberg Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1920. The most recent major renovation occurred in 2021, when plumbing work was completed to install various sinks and a grease trap, along with the installation of a projecting sign for "Tint Gallery." Prior to that, substantial updates were made in 2014, including the construction of an accessible restroom and staff room, installation of a roll-up door, and related electrical work. The building has received consistent maintenance attention, with three documented roof replacements in 2001, 2011, and 2014, and various interior upgrades including kitchen and bathroom renovations.

The property experienced heating system issues and water damage concerns in 2002, which led to multiple housing code violations regarding heat and interior surfaces, though these were resolved by 2004. More recently, there have been several 311 calls in 2024 related to street-level maintenance issues, including garbage debris, graffiti, and sidewalk concerns, though these are external to the building itself. The building's commercial space has seen some sign-related modifications over the years, including an unauthorized installation that was later abated and the recent "Tint Gallery" sign installation. While the property has a history of various improvements and maintenance work, there are no currently active building violations or unresolved housing complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 149-151 Gough St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
